I think you really must actually remember your sleeping body (or similar) for this to work. It is the recognition that the dream body you are currently occupying is not your true body that is important here. If you are unable to do so, then you might not be able to access your memory (or fully sustain lucidity, for that matter).

But if doing this reengages the link to my memory, shouldn't I be able to recall this (in the cases where I don't)? Or is this “link” you speak of not the same thing as actually being able to flawlessly recall things, consciously, from WL during the dream?
Yes, if the link is reengaged, remembering your sleeping body (and most other things) should not be a problem. I don't know about flawlessly, but once you can tap into your memory with your waking-life self-awareness intact, remembering things should be the same as they are as in waking-life.

I think TheUncanny summarized this bit about remembering your sleeping body well with this:
